Cell phones in the emergency department

Warning.. Here comes another one of Laura's rants..

If you come to the emergency department and you want a health care provider to see you and help you then please put down your cell phone while they are talking to you. The text that your friend sent you can wait until the end of the exam!

This blog is your place to ask those burning health questions. So much of health care is rushed these days and patients don't always feel like they have the chance to get the answers they need before their provider has to move onto the next patient. This is your chance.
